Master Vocalist stretching the boundaries of operatic and concert singing and enriching the landscape of contemporary performance through her advocacy of established and emerging composers.

I was psyched to see Dawn Upshaw get one. Spider Silk Biologist? Also cool.

Corey Harris? Feh. That's the kind of blues I don't like. Academic blues.

Fucking Posse Foundation t /just jealous

Two words: annoyed, hungry

I just found out that Clarence Thomas is going to be on the Rush Limbaugh show.

That's really not okay, right? Seriously?

Fucking Posse Foundation

Right?

Fuck them and the posse they rode in with!

The Annual MacArthur Grant Announcement = your chance to play Sour Grapes.

It's kind of fun.

Sad but true. Or I could revel in the innovation that goes on around me.... I bet Geoff Canada has one, too. Edit: Ah ha -- he doesn't. OK, I guess I can stop being organizationally jealous now.

Well, it means the dummy has switched ventriloquists from Scalia to "comedian" Rush Limbaugh.(AS can finally drink a glass of water now...this is major.) Next year, he might follow a dog act. Oh, you mean *ethically*? Yeah, kind of sleazy, but nothing new for: Clarence Thomas, Worst Jurist In The Wooorld!(/KO likes carrots) ETA: I actually know a genius grant recipient...Greg Smith, for his work on the "On A Roll" radio program. He deserved it.

I would say that's not OK. But on the 1-10 outrage scale I'd probably give it a 3.

Somehow, Petraeus appearing only on Fox was more wrong to me. Not sure why....

Military folk aren't supposed to campaign...I think it's illegal. Soltz can only go on "Countdown"(which likes carrots) because he's not active-duty military.And Fox might as well be KRNC.

Maybe it's sort of like scientology, where people now get that the Republican Religion (which I've realized is completely seperate from being politically conservative) is BATSHIT CRAZY.
